Past Events

Wednesday 24 January – Friday 16 March

Justine Kurland’s This Train presents images from road trips taken with her young son across the United States between 2005 and 2011. Revisiting these images, Kurland upends the conventional family album to tell a story of queer motherhood and deconstructs the familiar mythology of the American railroad as a pioneering symbol of modernity. To coincide with the release of This Train in March, photographs from the book will be exhibited at Higher Pictures.

Tuesday 9 January

Jim Goldberg will be in conversation with curator Lisa Sutcliffe of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate the publication of Coming and Going, a unique work of autobiography in which history, memory and imagination collide to reflect upon the bittersweet realities of individual life. The event will include a book signing.
